Patek Philippe 18K white gold ref. 3940G with Extract from the Archives, made and sold in 2005 When the ref. 3940 was launched in 1985, the market was shaken by this innovative new look that was very different in appearance to the earlier Patek Philippe perpetual calendars. The development of the ref.was a bold move for Patek Philippe. The ref.replaced the ref. 3450, a different watch mechanically and aesthetically. The caliber 240 Q was more modern, flatter and captured the spirit of Patek Philippe in the 1980s. The fact that during this time, Patek Philippe and the Stern family embraced tradition and still acknowledged the need for change, is the very essence of the ref.’s DNA. The best estimated guess of total production of ref.from 1985 – 2007 is approximately 7,000 – 8,000 examples. This unpolished example with mint dial and hands is from 2005 and is one of the rarer variants of the reference – only 40 third series examples have surfaced to date in white gold.

The Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar 5327J-001 is a remarkable demonstration of the brand's mastery in watchmaking, showcasing a sophisticated blend of technical prowess and aesthetic elegance. Launched in 2016, this model features a stunning ivory enamel dial housed within a carefully crafted yellow gold case measuring 39mm in diameter. One of its standout complications is the moonphase, coupled with perpetual calendar functionalities including date, day, month, and a leap year indicator, all powered by the precisely engineered automatic caliber 324 S Q movement. The watch is completed with a luxurious chocolate brown alligator strap, ensuring both comfort and style.
